Your contribution has brought a wave of excitement to our room that is truly palpable. It is not often that we receive resources specifically tailored to high-interest, hands-on engagement, and your gift has provided us with invaluable tools to make learning both accessible and thrilling for our unique group of students.\r\nFor our learners, traditional textbook instruction can sometimes present significant barriers to engagement. These hands-on experiments bridge that gap effectively by allowing our students to physically interact with scientific concepts rather than just hearing about them. Whether they are observing chemical reactions or exploring physics through construction, these materials turn abstract ideas into concrete realities. Watching their eyes light up when a hypothesis turns into a visible, tangible result is the highlight of my teaching day, and that is a moment you helped create.\r\nBeyond the academic benefits, these experiments serve a vital therapeutic purpose within our behavioral program. Completing these projects requires patience, impulse control, and collaboration—skills that our students work hard to develop every day. The structured nature of scientific inquiry provides a safe, controlled environment for them to practice following multi-step directions and managing frustration if an experiment requires troubleshooting. The immense sense of pride and accomplishment they feel when they successfully complete a complex task does wonders for their self-esteem and encourages positive behavioral regulation.\r\nThank you once again for believing in our students and investing in their potential. Your support sends a powerful message to them that they are valued and that their education matters. These experiments are not just one-time activities; they are building blocks for confidence and curiosity that will last long after the school year ends. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and your commitment to supporting special education.","fullyFundedDate":1758297727588,"projectUrl":"project/science-fun/9658348/","projectTitle":"Science Fun","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. O'Brien","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6718569_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1567766733722","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6718569"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51969","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1333,"numTeachers":85,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.7,"schoolId":51969,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Abraham Lincoln High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Abraham Lincoln High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/council-bluffs-community-school-district/abraham-lincoln-high-school/51969"}
